:icondonotplz::iconusemyartplz:

This is an illustration for Fantasy Flight Games collectible card game named A Game of Thrones, which is based on the world of best-selling author George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice & Fire. This belongs to the Five Kings Edition.

The character is Euron Crow’s Eye.

I got this description from :iconwinteriscoming-fans: who helped me with some of the descriptions of the characters. I just love this character, hehe:

“He’s left his family after having a relation with his brother Victarion’s wife. Since that time he spent his life sailing the seas as one of the most dangerous pirates of all times. His ship is called “Silence” since all the members of the crew are mute or had their tongues cut off. The wood of the whole ship has a reddish color, due to the tons of blood poored on its decks during the boardings and the cruel raids that Euron and his crew did during the years.
He’s the terror of all the sea villages. His only interest toward his family is ascending to the Sea Throne, owned by his father Balon.”

Illustrations for card games like this always have short deadlines, and are supposed to be viewed on a smaller scale than here.

I love the detail and effects on the armoured plates and the collar.

If I told you there was something I wanted to tell you but I shouldn't tell you because I've already told you about wanting to tell you therefore telling you what I wanted to tell you, have I told you anything at all?

again, this is fantastic <3
:iconroninshinobi:
Great job, superb detail on the armour
:iconsenekha:
Wicked! Awesome detail with his clothes and armour!!! Even the armour looks like it's had a life at sea.

You know, I'm tempted to buy these Game of Thrones cards just to get the art on them....lol
:iconzarinebashire:
Cool picture, but I think he's wearing a bit too much armor for a pirate. We wouldn't want him to sink like a stone.

technically a pretty cool painting.

i have always visualized this character as more rough, viking-ish (like the Greyjoy are), though: this man here's too smooth / renaissance imo. (and there's a bit too much metal on him for a pirate, yes. okay, i see he's not aboard a ship now, but to represent his character maybe that would've served a scene to capture him in.)
